Re: GVLT proposed TOP bond funding
On behalf of Eagle Mount, I want to express our support for the Gallatin Valley Land Trust's
proposed Front Street Connector Trail.
Eagle Mount provides therapeutic and adaptive recreation for people with disabilities and
children with cancer. According to the most recent census data,there are 8,000 people in
Gallatin County who live with a disability. Ensuring our well-used and much-loved community
trail system is more fully accessible is an important step toward building a more inclusive
community. We applaud GVLT's efforts.
The proposed Front Street Connector Trail will create an important connection in the Main
Street to the Mountains trail system. As the completion of Rouse Ave is within sight, now more
than ever this connection project should be considered a critical part of the parks and trails
infrastructure in Bozeman.
Eagle Mount appreciates having community partners like GVLT to work with. We encourage the
TOP Committee to recommend to the City Commission that addition funding be allocated to
complete this project.
Appreciatively,
Kevin Sylve er
